Saint Saviour's Anglican Church was the first church built in Foremost, Alberta. It opened in 1914 and closed in 1968.
It was eventually moved to a farm near Bow Island and some years later it was donated to the Etzikom Museum and Historical Windmill Center where it is now on permanent display.
It's a lovely little church with a warm presence and lots of historical charm. Stop in for a look.
Etzikom is on the Red Coat Trail, east of Foremost and west of Manyberries.

How nice that it's been preserved in a local museum!
ReplyDeleteIt's still in good condition too and is a favourite from the area.
DeleteWhat a great boon for the museum. Too bad more buildings of this sort didn't end up being care for in such an environment.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know it's the only Anglican church (in original condition) in the area.
